The Citation Group, a global leader in compliance software, has rebranded HRdownloads, its recently acquired Canadian HR management software provider, as Citation Canada. This marks a significant milestone as it represents The Citation Group’s first acquisition in Canada. 

Following the acquisition, The Citation Group has made substantial investments in Citation Canada, introducing new features and integrations to enhance the platform. In addition to its established HR services, Citation Canada has launched a new health and safety product designed to support Canadian businesses with occupational health and safety management. This product provides a comprehensive suite of services aimed at protecting workers and ensuring compliance with safety regulations. 

Citation Canada currently serves over 6,000 small and medium-sized Canadian businesses, delivering expert HR guidance through a combination of experienced professionals and an extensive library of training materials. Terra Aartsen, Chief Product Officer of Citation Canada, expressed enthusiasm about the rebrand, stating, “Being part of The Citation Group is an exciting new chapter for our business. Our name might have changed, but our commitment to providing outstanding HR and now health and safety services remains unchanged.” 

Richard Stabbins, Managing Director of Citation Canada, emphasized the company’s ongoing commitment to its employees and the Canadian market. “We are proud to lead a team with deep knowledge and expertise. Our new presence in Toronto signifies a major step forward, and we are committed to investing in technology and creating new opportunities.” 

Citation Canada continues to support Canadian SMBs, particularly those with 250 employees or fewer, by offering access to Canada’s largest HR content library, which includes resources on policy, compliance, and training. Sheila Ivanchuk, Director of Human Resources at Storage Vault Canada, praised the company’s support, highlighting its crucial role in navigating the evolving HR landscape. 

With a global client base of over 100,000 and ongoing expansion in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada, The Citation Group remains focused on enhancing its compliance and certification solutions to meet the needs of modern businesses.
